So you are saying that the children in performing schools whose parents don't believe in all that nonsense are not honest kids?

No hope for you then.

My lads both went to the local comp. My eldest, on becoming a father himself recently, paid me the compliment of saying we taught him how to think, not what to think. I doubt a well balanced child would call their parents liars and cheaters. I also doubt that the mainly irreligious teachers would encourage the thought. If society is such that people have to resort to saying they have an imaginary friend (preferably without pissing themselves laughing when saying it) in order to obtain a decent education, it is society and indeed government policy that has the issues, not the parents.

Good grades and education are not a result of reading from the big book of fairy stories but the discipline and sense of attainment that go with any school that does not see itself as child minder for chavs.
